Dog Walking Lincoln Park

About: Hi, I'm Peter! I'm currently a student at DePaul and have had pets in my home for almost my entire life. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with and caring for them. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have lots experience looking after dogs for families in my hometown, including dog sitting and house sitting. I've cared for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand the importance of providing consistent care. I also have experience caring for dogs that require daily medications, eye drops, and extra assistance getting outside and going to the bathroom. I take pride in providing safe, attentive, and personalized care for every pet I look after. I am responsible, reliable, highly organized, and have strong communication and time management skills. And I can't wait to spend time with your animals! I am very flexible and ensure to make time for animals because they are just as important to me as I am to them. Having an animal for almost my entire life, their presence and routine have made it second nature to my lifestyle. Caring for pets has become a natural part of my routine. Whether it's providing fresh water, feeding, exercise, or companionship, I make sure each pet's needs are met. Every animal is different, so I always listen carefully to the owner's instructions and pay attention to the animal's behavior to ensure they are properly cared for. I have experience administering medication, taking extra precautions during walks and outdoor time when needed, and adapting my care to fit each individual pet.

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, having grown up in a household with both cats and dogs. Not only would I care for my own dogs, but throughout middle school, high school, and now college, I ran my own pet-sitting business. I have lots of experience providing care and snuggling all different types of dogs. My schedule is very relaxed, ensuring I will be able to hang out with, love, and care for your pet. My only commitment is once or twice a week, where, on that given day, I will be available after 3:00 pm. I am very passionate about pet care, and take any special requests or needs very seriously. Your pets safety is my number one priority. I make sure to know how your pet is most comfortable, weather that be in the home, or on the leash. I have also been responsible for ensuring pets receive their medication, as well as taking care of older pets.

“I had Eric come and help me give my pup Kove more exercise with a walk, and it was a wonderful experience for both of us. He is very knowledgeable about pups and was very accommodating to his anxiety related special needs. Kove seemed to really enjoy himself with Eric - I'd highly recommend him for all of your pet care needs!”

“Kevin was great both with Hank and me, his Type A mother. First time entrusting him to a dog walker, Kevin kept me in the loop with text updates on his ETA and shared pictures and fun recaps of their time together. Would definitely recommend Kevin!”

About: All my life, I have loved animals of every species but especially dogs and cats. I have experience caring for dogs of any size, age, or breed from the smallest ones, like Chihuahuas, to the largest, such as Newfoundlands or Great Danes. Caring for your pet is a responsibility I undertake with love, patience, and dedication. I want every dog ​​to feel safe, calm, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, routines, and needs; I find it very easy to interact with any pet. I treat every dog ​​as if they were part of my own family. Currently, my husband and I have two dogs a Chihuahua and a Border Collie so I understand that every pet receives love in its own way, What characterizes me most is that I am very patient and responsible with animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible schedule and strong time management skills. I am available throughout the mornings and for much of the day, which allows me to handle walks, home visits, and general care calmly and without rushing. I enjoy maintaining an active and responsible routine; as a result, I am able to dedicate quality time to each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. My priority is to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I make sure to follow each owner's instructions, including schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and any special care they may require. I also strive to provide them with attention, companionship, and patience so that they do not feel lonely while their owners are away. I treat each client's home with responsibility and strive to maintain a clean, tidy, and trustworthy environment for both the pets and their families.

About: I specialize in small to medium sized high energy dogs. Whether you need walk, play, or just some company for your pet I am happy to provide service. I've trained and taken care of my own dog all throughout puppyhood to be a healthy, loving adult dog. Any special requests or video updates wanted are welcome and encouraged. I started my working life in childcare and children's special recreation. I've babysat in home and in afterschool programs. I'm currently a student at Depaul University with a flexible schedule. Weekend dates like Friday and Saturday are best for me! During the week late afternoons are best! I would attend to your dog in any way you need whether it's potty or playtime in your home. I treat every pet as if it is my own, following their specific schedule and instructions. I often send updates through videos and pictures to the owner.

About: Enjoy your trip in confidence because I know that your pet is very important. I’ve grown up with dogs and am a professional care giver. When I am not in class working on my college degree, I will be taking care of your dog, anytime, short notice or long visits. I am happy to walk your dog or dogsit in your home, whatever your needs may be. I am looking forward to spending time with your dog.

“Emily was very communicative with me throughout this whole process and it made me feel so comfortable. She gave me a full report of everything that happened on Daisy's walk and made sure she took care of everything Daisy needed. Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and also have a golden retriever of my own! I love looking after, walking, feeding, and taking care of furry friends everyday! I’ll be walking dogs throughout the summer, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days and can accommodate a variety of walking and care needs. I have a dog of my own and treat every pet like family. I live in an apartment just 0.2 miles from a park, providing easy access to walks, exercise, and outdoor time in a safe and caring environment.

About: I have been dogsitting/walking since I was 12 years old. When I have pet sat, I have spent my time cuddling, feeding, walking, and sometimes staying over night with them! I have worked with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, and even hermit crabs :) I love all animals and enjoy every second I get to spend with them since I do not own my own! In the past, I would always stay extra long when caring for them. I work from home so I have plenty of time to board and walk your sweet animals! I wake up at 8 am everyday for work but am able to get up earlier depending on your pets needs. I am able to take frequent walks during the day and after work! At a client's home, I am always sure to be attentive and cleanly when caring for their pets. If an animal is to ever have an accident (which it would not on my watch!), I am quick to clean and be sure the place is in tip top shape. I am very punctual and always will be sure to follow whatever guidelines the pet owner wants!

About: Caring for dogs and cats is truly what I love most, and it’s where I’ve built the strongest part of my experience. Through my work in veterinary settings, including emergency medicine, I’ve learned how to read their behavior, recognize when something isn’t right, and respond with calm, compassionate care. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities—whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or need a little extra patience and understanding. This fall, I’ll be starting veterinary school, which reflects how deeply committed I am to animal health and well-being. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with each pet—I take the time to understand their routine, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe, so they’re not just being cared for, they’re truly comfortable and loved while you’re away. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my daily and weekly routine, not just fit in when it’s convenient. I keep my schedule structured and flexible so I can give each pet consistent, reliable attention—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs, making sure feeding times, exercise, medications, and routines are followed closely. Even with my busy schedule preparing for veterinary school this fall, caring for pets remains a top priority for me, and I only take on bookings I know I can fully commit to. This means your pet gets dependable, unrushed care and my full attention every time I’m with them. I care for pets in a way that keeps them as comfortable and stress-free as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel secure in a familiar environment. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept clean, organized, and just as you left it. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where animals get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality and needs—whether that means lots of play and activity or a quieter, more relaxed space. Across both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, so you always know your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely comfortable and happy.

“Tylar was very reliable, and his gentle and easygoing manner was so good with my little dog - who is scared of everything! Ty is thoughtful and kind, and very sensitive to  my dogs needs and (sometimes persnickety) behavior.  I would definitely use him again!”

About: I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog and have watched/walked countless dogs throughout my 24yrs of life. From energetic to mellow, introverted to extroverted, and aggressive to gentle. I have always been able to breakthrough and bring out the sweethearts they are! I have experience working with mistreated Pit Bulls during my time in college. On top of that, I spent a summer volunteering in a dog van bathing service. Plain and simple, I have spent a lot of time with dogs! I truly love them and think they are all wonderful with the proper care and affection! Pet care is my primary focus as of now. Willing and able to work whenever possible! I recently graduated from Colorado State and will be attending Northwestern for my masters in the fall. Until then, I will be dog walking/sitting. I look forward to working with you all! I have a spacious three floor apartment with one roommate, who is also a huge dog lover and well experienced with dogs. We have an outdoor fenced in patio that is suitable for all dogs. We also have no other animals in the house. We are smoke free and all house plants are animal friendly. In terms of care, I first assure the dog feels safe and comfortable. Time is needed in order to let them become so. Secondly, I make sure simple needs are met: water, food, bathroom. It is all about being aware and open to a dog’s subtle gestures. The right environment is crucial to set the tone and mood of the dog! In my care, I hope to make every dog feel safe and loved!

“Rachel was very professional and communicative during her walk with our pup! She sent us some great pictures and our pup was definitely having a great time. She also went out of her way to help me understand the app since I am new to Rover. We will definitely be re-booking with Rachel!”
